Very helpful service to a cigar rookie buying a gift Learned about cigars and their habitat, the humidor was like a mini museum of cigars!

I'd heard a lot about Fat Stogies Cigar Lounge and stopped in excited to buy an S.T. Dupont lighter and a cigar case. The display had a decent selection, but the service completely ruined the experience. When a gentleman finally asked if I needed help, I told him I wanted to see an S.T. Dupont lighter. His first response was, "You must pay cash." I said that was fine, then asked whether the lighter was a Ligne 2 and if he could confirm the model. He replied, "I don't know," walked away, sat down in the lounge, and went back to smoking his cigar. No offer to check, get someone else, or help me further. I was left standing at the display wondering what had just happened. Not knowing the model is understandable. Walking away from a customer who's ready to make a purchase is dismissive and unprofessional. I came in excited to spend money and left feeling like my business wasn't wanted. I'm heading to Europe next week and will buy my lighter there instead. A decent selection means very little without basic customer service. Not sure how they have 4.6 on Yelp read more

My first visit to Stogies I knew that I had found a treasured spot. This lounge is like a mini United nations full of diversity, friendships that have lasted decades, multilingual, and smooth smoking cigars. The members are extremely welcoming, fun, and experienced cigar smokers. The place is lively full of great company. There are several ladies that are regulars. They love backgammon and have a monthly tournament. The games are very competitive. They also have great screens for watching your favorite sports too. The owners are friendly and keep the joint clean. You will enjoy whether you are new cigars or experienced. read more

By far, the best cigar spot in Encino! Met up with a couple of friends and enjoyed the selection.

After frequenting FS for over a year now, last night, my friends and I had the worst experience ever in a cigar lounge. The owner was extremely disrespectful, loud, and rude. He told one of us never to come back, accusing him of not buying cigars from his humidor and only smoking his own. This was a complete lie. He is was in fact at the register paying for his cigar and mine for the night. I will never go back here again. and when I think of how much money have spent in this place over the last 18 months, I am sick! My money spends Green just like everyone else and you will not disrespect me or anyone with me. read more

Great Tobacco store and cigar lounge. Really nice inside and bigger than you would think from the outside. I'm not a big smoker but occasionally will break out my old meerschaum (think Sherlock Holmes) pipe for a smoke and whiskey after a good dinner. I stopped in today before work to pickup some fresh pipe tobacco and browse the cigars. One of the owners (Didn't get his name) popped up from his chair as soon as I entered to help me. I asked if they sell Baccarat cigars and they did! Baccarat cigars are a little sweet on the outside. Not everybody sells them. I took one of those and also got an ounce of some great smelling pipe tobacco. My stepson got me this really nice Colibri butane lighter. One of those lighters that feel real heavy in your hand. I really like it but have not been able to get to light for a really long time. I asked the gentlemen if he could take a look at it. He said gladly and worked on that thing for almost ten minutes. It was a tough case but he fixed it! Now I'm back in business. Great shop. Great customer service. He made my day. Thanks again! read more

Jack the owner is such a gentleman, and treats everyone with respect. this is by far my favorite cigar lounge! Huge selection of quality cigars and iFriendly atmosphere. read more

Not only does this place have the best humidor in the entire valley but they throw in the most delicious free coffee you've ever tasted in your entire life. Amo makes the most delicious coffee that's ever been brewed by a brewmaster in the history of civilization. He sources his beans from only the finest coffee plantations in all of Columbia. He then grinds the coffee fresh each morning before brewing the most perfect cup you've ever tasted. So stop in and buy yourself a premium cigar and wash it down with a beautiful cup of Amo's finest. read more

Fat Stogies Cigar Lounge - Very nice - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Encino, California

Just got ripped off. Since I'm not familiar with cigars I got taken advantage of. Came in asking the owner I'm assuming. If they had some type of Christmas deal or package. He asked me for my budget. Right away he takes me to get a 5 pack package of monetecristo cigars. Telling me it's $70. And I believe him thinking he would actually help me out. Once I left I googled the pack he gave me through other cigar shops and found out it was $40 cigar pack. I looked up there Yelp to see the best place to help me out. Everyone writes great customer service, friendly and helpful. But I'm writing to say it was none of that. I messed up by trusting someone. read more

Family owned and operated for over 20 years, this cigar lounge is a staple in the community and a must for all cigar enthusiasts. It has become my favorite place to have a stick. They have plenty of comfortable recliners, an outdoor area to enjoy a smoke, not to mention, a large humidor with the widest rang and best selection of premium cigars you'll find in all the valley. The staff is also extremely kind and friendly. When you go, ask for Fadi and he'll pick out the perfect cigar for you. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

What can I say about Fat Stogies other then its by far the best cigar lounge in the Valley? Well, its the Best Cigar Lounge in the Valley by Far! I have been going to Fat Stogies for over 10 years now, way before they had their Lounge, but from Day 1 they always made me feel like a VIP. When I first started going there they took the time to explain the different types of Cigars, if they were strong or mild, how they tasted and so forth. Jack turned me on to La Gloria Series R number 6 because I wanted a Strong Cigar with good flavor and ever since then (Scouts honor) I have only smoked that one cigar. The have a very good size humidor with a very large selection of cigars. If you cant find your new favorite cigar or even you old favorite cigar in there then you need to stop smoking swisher sweets, they have it all. All of their cigars are fresh, I have never seen any mold on a cigar like I have in a couple of other shops. The people that go there are great, you can sit next to a guy worth millions and a guy down on his luck and never know it. There is great conversation, with alot of laughs. From someone who has been going to years to the person who's first time it is all feel welcomed. Jack and Amo are neat freaks, the always keep the ashtrays clean, anything drink wise that is left around they clean it up right away. The floor is spotless and the place is always neat and tidy. The chairs are really comfortable and there is plenty of them. They have tvs on so you get to watch the big games, with great people, great cigars and just relax. Fat Stogies is also a great place to go on a Sat or Sunday morning early, bring a book, spark up a cigar and just enjoy some piece and quit and a great smoke. read more

This is my neighborhood cigar shop and I have a pleasant experience each time I go in. The owners are both really nice guys that are willing to answer questions and make suggestions. Though I am usually in and out, it seems like a friendly place to hangout, watch some sports, and enjoy a good smoke. They have a large humidor with a wide range of cigars. It's great because they always have my go to's (Drew Estates/Acid) but the variety there always provides something new to try. read more

Don't go anywhere else. I always get a warm and personal greeting from the owners every time I go there. Even though they know me they offer to help me find what I'm looking for. I've never had a bad experience and they attract friendly and sociable customers who hang out in the lounge. Clean, comfortable, good service, good parking. All around a positive experience every time. read more

Jack and Amo are fantastic. I've been going here for close to 5 years now. The selection is excellent and due to the recent expansion of the store seating space is plentiful. These guys are very knowledgable about cigars! I suppose my only criticism for Fat Stoogies is similar to that of most cigar shops. No alcohol! Most places do not have a liquor license but it'd be nice wouldn't it??? 5 stars Goldhammer Approved read more
